Upper Coliban Reservoir now open for on-water recreation
- Upper Coliban Reservoir
Upper Coliban Reservoir near Kyneton has re-opened for on-water recreation.
The use of kayaks, canoes and small portable craft is now permitted on the reservoir.
While the reservoir has been closed for on-water recreation in recent months due to increased levels of blue-green algae in the water, recent water quality testing has shown a decrease in these levels, and it is now safe for on-water recreation.
